A Dose of Denim & Stripes Ft. MariChuy

Happy 4th of July everyone! 

On this weekend's adventure, my boyfriend and I spent it visiting one of my good friends and fellow blogger; MariChuy and her husband Oscar in Tecumseh, Kansas. It had been a while since we last saw each other so it felt great to catch up and enjoy the long holiday festivities. I met MariChuy at a Go Blog Social Conference in Kansas City about two years ago and since then we have been great friends. 

MariChuy and her husband showed us around Topeka and Kansas City and we got to meet some of their family members. Wherever we went we saw people lighting up fire works, having BBQ's and showing off their red, white, and blue so we decided to do a mini style collaboration to show you all two different ways to style your outfit using those colors. Check out some photos of my outfit of the day below and go on over to MariChuy's blog to see her outfit of the day! 

One of the things I reflected on throughout this weekend was how fortunate we are to live in a country filled with many opportunities to be able to meet so many like-minded and diverse individuals and learn from each other. I wear my red, white, and blue, to represent all the hard working people in the world and for those who have served this country to make it a better place. 

Many thanks to MariChuy and Oscar for being great hosts and for showing us around! Can't wait for you both to visit us in Omaha! Don't forget to check out MariChuy's blog for more style tips and cool travel adventures!

My Fourth of July

One of the things I love about themed holidays like Fourth of July, is dressing up! I love experimenting with different types of clothing and creating unique sets that are comfortable and fun to wear. I also like having options on what to wear, so I decided to make a day and evening outfit based on the occasion.  Let's take a look!

DAY

Since it was a really nice beach day, I decided to wear something fresh so I styled it up with a nice pair of white shorts, red flats, and a striped, red and navy blue blouse. I accessorized my outfit with my camera, it is always a good companion to bring. 

 

Blouse: Urban Outfitters

Shorts: Target

Flats: Urban Outfitters

Camera: Canon Rebel xs

We took our adventure to the streets of the Third Street Promenade and capture all of the creative outfits we could find. 

ON THE STREETS

The many ways people wear their red, white, & blue here in Santa Monica, CA.

After a fun day at the beach and capturing people, it was time to change to my evening outfit and see the fireworks!

EVENING

Dress:  Yumi (Donna's Dress Shop)

Handbag: Angela & Roi

Pumps: Evan-Picone (vintage)

I topped my evening outfit with a classy blue dress by Yumi and paired it with a skinny blue belt. To add some color I wore my red Evan-Picone pumps and a red Angela & Roi handbag. It was a special night because I got to wear the dress my boyfriend bought me!
